    What life expectancy do you think the present and new build LU 'tube stock' trains will have?

    Maybe mechanically but they look cleaner. 1786818686 They visually look well built, the 24ts.

    Things in living memory which seem very anachronistic now

    I think young 8 year olds playing new gta games is anachronistic. I think the realism in the newer ones might make it taboo that an 8 year old plays gta 6 whereas in the early 00s it was completely normal for a kid to play GTA SA. Probably from gta 4 it became seen as irresponsible for a kid...

    What life expectancy do you think the present and new build LU 'tube stock' trains will have?

    Ok, but I think class 165’s are fairing better than 92 stock and I am sure they were British built.

    What life expectancy do you think the present and new build LU 'tube stock' trains will have?

    To be fair the 95/6 and s stock look like they would outlast the 92 stock.

    UK Street design and street furniture, do you like how it’s changed over the years? Why? Why not?

    Depends on the traffic light. It’s safe for some, at some times, and not others. Some it’s safe to stop in front of the first set of lights. And some, as I mentioned, has cyclists stop in the middle of the road, on the mid bay section. I think it’s best discussed with cyclists if traffic lights...

    UK Street design and street furniture, do you like how it’s changed over the years? Why? Why not?

    It’s not an excuse but passing a red light is sometimes as safe as moving on a green light and crossing pedestrians are easy to avoid if timed well. No accidents caused, awareness of the light sequencing, it isn’t a big deal, especially if done slowly. The modern pedex crossings are an...

    UK Street design and street furniture, do you like how it’s changed over the years? Why? Why not?

    Maybe the next evolution of street design is making traffic lights more cyclist friendly. Apparently its a reason lots of cyclist, including me, skips them. But it's hard to know the solution it might be road design. I am thinking it's also about the cyclist/pedestrian interaction and some ride...

    London Buses Discussion

    I notice the route 18 seems to be using some Gemini 2 hybrids recently. I’m just curious why as it’s allocation is meant to just be bd11’s I thought.

    S Stock feels dated despite age

    That’s probably why on a really bad hay fever year for me, I noticed my itchy throat and coughing wouldn’t go away on an s stock out class 378, but went away on class 700’s, 350 I think and went away in supermarkets.

    London Buses Discussion

    I must have misread because I assume the single decks are for SL15 re reading it.

    London Buses Discussion

    So 328 is going back to the 90's/early 00's with single deck buses. I don't use the route much though.

    S Stock feels dated despite age

    No I think it's just like that. I remember them not work super well in 2022 when London got to 40C. Also one year I had bad hayfever, I noticed I would stop coughing in Asda supermarket or a Class 700 or Class 350 I think even. However my haayfever symptoms were bad whilst in an S stock or...

    I don’t use them too much since I live in London.

    The puffin crossings have sensors so know when someone is crossing. Why do you think there is too much signage?

    Things in living memory which seem very anachronistic now

    The sticky transparent wallet like thing on the wall behind the drivers cab. I also don't think blue lights are a thing on modern buses, I mean, as in used as a main light. I wonder if it was thought that too bright bus lighting would affect the drivers focus or something.

    Things in living memory which seem very anachronistic now

    Yeah, I have one on my local high street but it does seem irrelevant as I would rather order argos online.
